Disabled and fined for parking in unmarked area

Q: I am a disabled driver. I parked my car on the side of a road on a double yellow line and received a penalty charge notice as a result. There were no lines on the pavement and no indication on the road or any display notice stating that the area is subjected to these restrictions. My blue badge was also clearly displayed and I was not parked there for longer than the maximum 3 hours. What should I do?

A: If there was no signage to state otherwise, you may challenge this penalty notice in the first instance. If they refuse to drop or negotiate this issue then it is up to you whether you wish to continue this dispute.

I have received a court summons for driving without insurance, during a motoring accident. I was also driving on a provisional licence - I will plead guilty to these offences. However, I do not believe that I am responsible for the collision. What should I do about this situation?

I am being threatened with legal action over the actions of my son. My son was involved in a road traffic accident concerning a young boy. My son was injured about a week after the event. The parents of the young boy are now asking for £1,000 compensation for the excess on claiming for the damage to the bike and for the increased premium as a result. My son was 17 at the time of the incident and is now 18. The parents are alleging that I am liable for my son’s actions. What should I do?
